Abstract excerpt
Previously, we found that transferring 6.1 Mb of salt-sensitive (SS) chromosome 12 (13.4-19.5 Mb) onto the consomic SS-12(BN) background significantly elevated mean arterial pressure in response to an 8% NaCl diet (178±7 versus 144±2 mm Hg; P<0.001). Using congenic mapping, we have now narrowed the blood pressure locus by 86% from a 6.1-Mb region containing 133 genes to an 830-kb region (chr12:14.36-15.19 Mb)...
